Use Cases
Flotation - Reducing Reagent Dosage
The solution effectively optimised the reagent dosage by analysing real-time data during the flotation process. It determines the ideal reagent dosage, enhancing the frequency of control actions while decreasing average feed rate, chemical consumption, and environmental impact.
Key Results
The solution reduced the mean reagent feedrate from 20.22 to 19.67 gram per ton of ore
Reducing the Reagent dosage is being achieved by increasing frequency of control actions, optimizing reagent dosage for each flotation state.
Also, the use of the Solution made it possible to increase recovery in flotation due to more efficient control of the process
Challenges:
1. Data quality for AI accuracy.
2. Balancing energy efficiency and production.
3. Adapting AI to varying ore conditions.
4. Overcoming equipment maintenance predictions.
5. Tailings reduction for environmental impact.
Stabilizing energy consumption of the SAG mill.
Stable energy consumption allows for more predictable energy demand, which can facilitate better planning and management of energy resources. This can lead to more efficient use of these resources and reduce instances of energy waste. Furthermore, stability in energy use can also mean less fluctuation in operational performance, leading to more consistent production results.
Key Results
Implementation of the solution reduced the variation (standard deviation) of the power by 2 times from 246 kW to 128 kW.
In some cases the water consumption was reduced due to stabilisation of the solid density in the SAG mill.
The implementation of the automatic control had a positive impact on the personnel. The amount of stress among the operators was reduced significantly which resulted in higher level of job satisfaction.
Challenges:
- Balancing efficiency with environmental stewardship.
- Integrating AI without disrupting current operations.
- Ensuring AI's transparency and human oversight.
- Achieving high AI reliability and uptime.
- Adapting AI solutions to future sustainability goals.
